Take a look at these pictures of my
Nuclear Data terminals.
This brings new meaning to the phrase “dumb
terminal”. The housing includes only the high voltage drive
electronics for the CRT and no electronics
for processing the keyboard or refreshing the display from
memory! The interface to the outside world consists of a
parallel ribbon cable sending keyboard data out and a video
input for the CRT monitor. I believe the circuitry that
generates the video feed is enclosed somewhere in the
peripheral boxes for the ND 812 computer, but I have no
documentation and haven’t reverse engineered the circuits
yet.
I originally purchased just the ND 6600 terminal
because damn that vintage green keyboard was cool looking. I
purchased it from
The Black Hole
and got it home before I realized it was mostly empty. On my
next trip down to the Hole, I picked up the remaining
Nuclear Data gear that was there: the ND812 computer,
peripherals and 3 ND 600 data entry terminals with
nuclear instrumentation module
slots.
If anyone has information about what kind of
data the is returning (parallel ASCII, serial ASCII?) to
save me the trouble of reverse engineering it, that would be
awesome. Any Nuclear Data 812 information in general would
also be appreciated!
During the Retro DSA Group Buy we
had talked about a reprise of the Nuclear Data keycaps in
White-on-Green doubleshot, potentially in SA profile for
maximum old skool-ness. Maybe a couple of Cold War special
keycaps, certainly large, bold, simple legends, especially a
numbers-only 10-key pad.
Is anyone still interested in
this?

MAIN INTEREST CHECK
QUESTION:
Would you like a set of glossy White on Green
(WoG) retro keycaps in SA profile?
POTENTIAL FALLBACK
OPTION IF WE CANNOT GET 100% GLOSSY FINISH:
If and only
if they cannot ALL be glossy, should we
(A) make them
all semi-matte or
(B) make as many of them as possible
glossy?
